### Why Ctrl+6? ### Why Ctrl+6?
`Ctrl+6` sends 0x1E, a control character not frequently used by terminals, signals, or shells. Avoid `Ctrl+letter` hotkeys - terminals can't distinguish `Ctrl+J` from `Ctrl+Shift+J`. `Ctrl+6` sends 0x1E (ASCII RS), a control character not frequently used by terminals, signals, or shells. Avoid `Ctrl+letter` hotkeys - terminals can't distinguish `Ctrl+J` from `Ctrl+Shift+J`.
**macOS caveat:** Mac terminals don't send control characters for `Ctrl+number` combinations. On macOS, press `Ctrl+Shift+6` (equivalent to `Ctrl+^`) which produces the same 0x1E byte. A more portable default key may be chosen in a future release.
